Removed section on microbes.[edit]

This section read as below. I removed it for several reasons.

The Prof. al-Dayrani paragraph has multiple issues 1) I can't find any link to the alleged source; 2) it may be relevant to an article on the topic, but not in a bio of the article subject.
As a recent ip editor pointed out, the BBC reporter can't be found, nor can I find any link to the reportage.
The final paragraph has a incident 1) cited as having occurred in the encyclopedic voice, but has no WP:RS citation, just a reference to the article's subject claims and 2) is non-notable.

Reason for Mentioning the Name of Al'lah over a Carcass

He emphasised the necessity of mentioning Al'lah's Name aloud over animals as they are being slaughtered, for when they hear Al'lah's Name their meat becomes pure and free of any microbes.

Prof. al-Dayrani also subjected the ideas of his teacher, M. Amin Sheikho, in this field, to a scientific study. A great number of doctors and university professors carried out scientific research, the like of which had never been attempted before. They took many samples of the meat of cattle, some of which were slaughtered while mentioning Al'lah's Name aloud over them, while others were slaughtered without the benefit of this blessing. A comparative analysis of the outcome was then carried out. The results of this study were also published in a book issued on behalf of M. Amin Sheikho, entitled, Proclaiming God’s Love (The Scientific and Qur'anic Motivations for Halal Slaughter.^[1]

Mrs. Salma Estwani, the BBC correspondent in Syria at that time, announced the scientific results of this study and interviewed the doctors and researchers who carried it out.

Also, after revealing these results, many signboards were posted in Damascus streets on which it was written, ‘How terrible! Is it true that we Syrians eat microbes through our food?’ And on the front of the citadel of Damascus, a large sign was displayed on which was printed: 'The Great Syrian Humane Scholar Mohammad Amin Sheikho.'^[2]

If another editor has a source on these topics, please start with that. Chris vLS (talk) 19:31, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are there are reliable sources about this subject?[edit]

Perhaps not in English? This article seems to be promotional from the subject's own publications and website. Plus some of the publications and website of his "pupil." I really don't know what to save here. Chris vLS (talk) 04:25, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
